THE oLERK,s ERROR

Causes a Mixed Up Affair Among the
 Members of the Court of Common
 Council on tho Matter of Paying the
 Hoard of Compensation Salaries
 The state House Repairs.
 President Kleiner called the members of the board of councilmen to order shortly be- fore 8 o'clock last evening, about half the members of the board being present. After several orders had been read the report of the committee on ordinances for proposed ordinance concerning the salaries of members of the board of compensation was read and led to a lively discussion between the mem bers of the board. The report with an amendment by the board of finance provid- ing that members of the board should be elected annually was adopted November by
 the aldermen. The report as amended was
 then tabled for printing, as the rules require.
 The report was enormously endorsed as
 passed by Clerk Shanley, and bearing this endorsement it came before the board of councilmen November A. Owing to the tardiness of the printing of the journal Pres ident KIeiner announced that the question was on passing the order in concurrence. Councilman Moran objected to this, as he had been present at the meeting of the al
 
 not on the passage of the order, but that it was on concurring with the aldermen in adopting the amen dment and tabling the matter for printing. At the meeting of the aldermen November 21 tine matter came up again and the report as rec commended was passed. Last evening the councilmen again brought up the matter, and I as the clerk had rectifed his mistake the l board voted to accept the original report ot the committee on ordinances, and this leaves ! the matter in as much of mixed up state as it has been all along; and to straighter things out one body must concur with the other, either the aldermen with the council men on the report of the committee on ordi nances, or the couneilmen with the aldermen | on the amendment of the board of finance The matter of repairing the State House next came up, but was quickly disposed O | by vote being passed to concur with the l alder men in referring the matter to the board \ of finance.
 I The estimates for the coming year as re ! commended by the board of aldermen wa l the next matter taken up, and no opposition | was met with until the contingent fund wa | reached, when Councilman Ford moved tC transfer s, 900 from this fund to the electric I light fund, as the city was greatly in need O. more electric lights in the outskirts of tn l city.
 1 Councilman Warren objected to this anc l moved to table ir indefinitely, which motiol | was carried.
 l When the appropriations for salaries fo | the tax commissioners was reached Presiden ! Kleiner thought it was illegal for members o the council to receive compensation for worl 1 and the matter was referred to Corporation Counsel Driscoll for an opinion. In the othe l estimates the board concurred with the alder
 men and then adjourned until next Monda | evening.

Died at the MiddIetOwn Insane Asy.

George Farnham died at the Middletown insane asylum yesterday. He was taken there about three weeks ago. It will be re- membered that he was the man who was kept locked up in the West Haven jail one night last summer. He claimed that he was forcibly put in the lookup by the West Ha- ven authorities, and so brought suit against hem for $1O,0O0 through Attorney Charles 5. Hamilton. The West Haven authorities claimed that Farnham asked for place to stay over night and they gave him a place ID the Jail. The affair worked on Earn hams mind to such an extent that he had to be sent to the asylum. He resided in Clin- ton. Attorney Hamilton thinks the treat ment he received at West Haven resulted in his insanity.

No Rock Island institution has given
the city wider reputation, and there are
few branches of business that bring to
the city more patrons than Rasmussen's
art and Photographic studio. Having
adopted photography as profession, Mr..
Rasmussen believed it to be an art in
which success could be attained only by
thorough study aud cultivation. He had
the natural skill and all that was needed
was the training to carry his ideas into
successful execution. Thus it has been
that Mr. Rasmussen has made progress
in this branch of science that few others
have. His work has received the highest
praise and acknowledgement all over the
country, taking first prizes wherever it
has been exhibited He has made remark

and established business that is an
